tip #8: paris gypsy’s who play tricks and entertain are a great source of style inspiration
we’re living in a time when kanye is considered a genius, donald trump is considered presidential, chiara ferragni is a feminist (!), and kim kardashian (who sold herself in a sex tape) is considered a business inspiration for young women! so should it be any surprise that brands who sell their shit to the same stupid public have hired equally unqualified people to lead their brands? not that fashion EVER was a viable source of inspiration or intelligence but still you must admit there was glimpses of creativity (alexander mcqueen, gareth pugh, rei kawakubo, raf simons, iris van herpen, etc)… it is a sad times for creativity when you have some half witted infantile creatives sketching out their 3rd grade arts & craft ideas on the global fashion scene. its bad enough when you have to go see your 3rd graders artwork as a parent, now you are expected to pay $$$ for it! what a gas, just consider this brilliant new idea by virgil abloh for nike… the nike zoom fly SP.
did you ever wonder what shoes were made of? …well now you know!
1- become famous for nothing… how you ask? by working for some one else who became famous for nothing 2- take an existing shoe that a real designer designed, and 3- tie some zip tie shit you have lying around the house to it so you can look “weird and different”… 4- triple the price and just try selling it to some idiots who’s willing to buy it 5- relish in the fact that there are plenty who will.
I wonder if those are shoelaces? please comment below.
next: now that you have determined what “type” of people buy your shit, help them out. give’em a hand. be sure to label things. i mean who would know that shoes come with laces, if you don’t label them? be sure to indicate what part is foam, what is a logo, and so on. for the good of all man-kind I just hope somewhere on this it says “shoes” because it could be easily worn as gloves! of course we wished this terrible creative idea was at least original… #sad (learned from our president)
but with your audience also having amnesia they may not remember that this terrible idea was used a decade ago on soap dishes, bottles, gloves etc. there was a time when “mentally-challenged consumers” had the option to buy products that had some stupid graphics, stating what they were, like a cup had the word “cup” written on it, so you wouldn’t use it as a plate. but that fad died very quickly…
getting schooled by seemingly upset virgil abloh. lesson one: “what is a logo”
or did it? virgil abloh 3rd grade inspiration is alive and kicking in some dark places like walmart and macy’s… it turns out virgils creativity is right on par with the cutting-edge designers of “better homes and gardens” where you can buy this lovely pump, available at walmart for $8.53 (about $8 more than its worth).
or this strange object which i could not decipher until i read the words “trash” and should you not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, in smaller type, the word “bucket”. this caliber of finesse may explain why the byredo collab candle with virgil smells like a cheap auntie perfume at kmart… i’m all for mixing high and low, but im noy high myself, I just don’t want to pay high prices for low goods…
“who’s got the crack” by the moldy peaches
I have more to say especially about vetements DHL shirts and shoes, but i really have to go to a birthday dinner. I will proof read this tomorrow but hope you had a good laugh and if not some food for thought, there is room in this world for all things but there could not be a bigger mismatch than this unless we agree that we have all drank the f%$#ing coolaid… and on that note here’s a song to cheer you up for the weekend. just stay off the drugs kids. i’m talking about walmart; anti deprescants and anxiety pills xx. by dd
